After watching "Crazy Primitives", I watched the sequel in one go. It took 7 years to return, it is a rare big IP that the sequel is still wonderful after the glory.
The first episode is mainly about adventure, and the main story is the affection between family members. The episode revolves around the love between Eep and Guy, after the Gollums find a new world and live in it. One day, they discover a fenced-in paradise that houses the Better Man family that Guy knew from his childhood. They have the wisdom and good habits of civilized people, as well as the selfishness and shrewdness of egoism. For the sake of their daughter, they wanted to drive away the Gulu family and leave Guy in the family. However, the sudden attack of the Boxer Monkey made them and the Gollum family become partners in the same enemy. After working together to drive away the invaders, they also became good friends and lived together.
In this episode, Guage is still cute and warm, not only protecting his own family, but also helping the Better Man family defeat the intruder regardless of previous suspicions. And Eep is still the brave, wild, kind and good girl. In the face of the arranged rival in love, he also takes her to play with enthusiasm, gets along and protects her like a best friend. After leaving the cave, the democratic atmosphere of the Gollum family has become increasingly high, and the role of the grandmother in the family has become more important. The characters of the newly added Better Man family are also very vivid. Within a few minutes of their appearance, they vividly show the so-called refined egoism unique to civilized people. I really admire the director's expressive ability.
Although it is not as dazzling as the whole adventure in the last episode, it is also wonderful that the whole process cannot be stopped. Like a few parts of the video:
1. When Eep and his best friend jumped out of the wall on a parrot tiger to play, they saw a butterfly forest. At the beginning, I thought it was a forest, and the shape of the feathers stood up, looking like a fairyland. When they got close, the still feathers suddenly flew up, and it was a graceful butterfly, which was unexpectedly amazing.
2. In the middle of the night, Better Man heard the ground shaking when the intruder smashed the door, and when it was smashed open, he saw only a small fist monkey standing there, motionless. When Guage was laughing from ear to ear, all of a sudden, behind Boxing Monkey, one eye lit up, and a sound of boxing sounded, which soon became a piece, and it became a sound that shook the world. That kind of picture suddenly felt very similar to a certain scene at the opening of the 2008 Olympics. From the sound of a drum to the beating of drums, the momentum was huge.
It's especially good that the voice acting in the sequel hasn't changed. Guage is still calm and cute, and Eep is still wild and sexy, which lays a solid foundation for maintaining the overall level. In addition, the dubbing of the newly added Better Man family is also excellent, expressing the characteristics of civilized people well. After that, I took a look at the Chinese version, and it is indeed much worse than the original version.
By the end of the film, the Gulu family not only did not have the population decrease as Gua Ge was worried about, the girl followed the boy away, but instead became more and more because of the participation of the Better Man family and the various pets they gained in the two episodes. more and more lively. All of this, just as Guage has always believed, "The pack stays together, and we grew stronger together." (The pack stays together, and we grew stronger together.)
